Hyatt-Livingston House was an historic home located at Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County, New York. The house started as a simple tenant-farmer's dwelling about 1698. In the 18th century, it was enlarged to a five-bay, 2 1⁄2-story dwelling that now forms the central part of the house. It was of wood frame construction, with a gable roof, and sitting on a fieldstone foundation. The 2-story west wing was built by Philip Livingston (?-1810) between 1779 and 1810. A monument in front of the house, placed in 1895, falsely claimed that, during the American Revolution, the house served as George Washington's headquarters for a period in 1781.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The house was destroyed by fire on September 1, 1974.
The monument in front with the false inscription about the house having been Washington's headquarters was corrected in 2000.
